Commercial FN98 Mauser stock options?

[Freyr_255]

Doing some shopping for a new stock for a Zastava M70 and was wondering what people recommend or even just know of on the market. It seems like most manufacturers have limited selection for mausers. Mostly looking for fiberglass or possibly laminate if I like it enough.

McMillan, Brown Precision, Wildcat, MPI and Manners all make stocks for it.

Thanks. Never heard of wildcat before...kinda like that they are from Sherwood Park.

I have a 2011/2012 Frankonia Jagd catalogue and it shows two really nice wood stocks as well. I know you are looking for something else, but that option for a ready to go stock is also available.

To fit a Zastava M/70 in a FN 98 stock, you will need to make a groove for the floorplate release button. The Mark X stock pattern usually have it already machined.

Thanks for the tip. Really never shopped for a stock before to be honest so the info is appreciated.

What about the m98 one, not the m70? Will a normal boyds mauser 98 stock fit?

 

[Baribal]

As far as I know, they all have the swing type floorplate, so yes, they will need that groove too.

With a Boyds stock please note that their Mauser stocks do not come with a bolt handle cutout or side safety notch.

Depends what action you order it for. A military action doesn't need the side safety or the bolt notch. Sporters do. Easy enough to add though. - dan

I think the OP was looking for a stock for an FN98 which is mostly encountered as a commercial model with the side safety and requiring a bolt notch.
